Concept introduction:
Spectroscopy:
It is study of the interaction of matter and
IR frequency (cm-1):
It is the number of wave crests that pass by a given point in one second frequency has units of hertz (Hz).
Stretch vibrations:
It is a vibration occurring along the line of the bond a stretching vibration changes the bond length.
Bending vibrations:
It is a vibration that does not occur along the line of the bond, bending vibration changes the bond angle.
Given information:
The intense absorption at 1690cm-1 for Carvone.

- 6- Below are the figures of two infrared spectra (IR). One corresponds to the spectrum of the cyclohexane compound and the other corresponds to the cyclohexene. Identify each IV with its respective compound and indicate the frequencies and modes of vibration.arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds will show two absorption bands at around 3300 cm-1 and around 2150 cm-¹?arrow_forwardGrignard reagents undergo a general and very useful reaction with ketones. Methylmagnesium bromide, for example, reacts with cyclohexanone to yield a product with the formula C7H14O. What is the structure of this product if it has an IR absorption at 3400 cm-1?arrow_forward
- Rank the following dienes in order of increasing values of lmax. (Their actual absorptionmaxima are 185 nm, 235 nm, 273 nm, and 300 nm.)arrow_forwardYou have an unknown with an absorption at 1680 cm-1; it might be an amide, an isolated double bond, a conjugated ketone, aconjugated aldehyde, or a conjugated carboxylic acid. Describe what spectral characteristics you would look for to help youdetermine which of these possible functional groups might be causing the 1680 peak.Sarrow_forwardA nitrogen-containing compound shows no absorption band at ~3400 cm-1 and no absorption bands between ~1700 cm-1 and ~1600 cm-1 or between 2260 cm-1 and 2220 cm-1. What class of compound is it?arrow_forward
- Hydrohalic acids (i.e., HCl, HBr, HI) add to the double bond of alkenes to yield alkyl halides. Shown below is the carbon NMR spectrum of an alkene of formula C5H10. What is the structure of this alkene?arrow_forwardExplain all splitting patterns observed for absorptions between 0 and 8 ppm for the alcohol shown below. Which proton or protons will give rise to a doublet at 1.4 , which ones will give rise to a singlet at 2.7, which ones will give rise to a quartet at 4.7 and which ones will give rise to multiplets at 7.4?arrow_forward1. An aliphatic ketone absorbs at 1,715 cm-1. What is the frequency of this vibration in hertz, which is cycles per second or just per second, reciprocal seconds? 2. What is the energy equivalent of this stretching vibration in kcal/mole? 3. Why does 3,4-diethyl-3-hexene not have a carbon to carbon double bond stretching absorption band? 4. Why does a carbon to oxygen double bond absorption band have a greater intensity than a carbon to carbon double bond absorption band? 5. Using only IR, explain in detail how one could most easily differentiate between oct-1-ene and oct-1-yne if all carbon to carbon bonds are ignored. 6. Using only IR, explain in detail how one could most easily differentiate between butan-1-ol and butanoic acid.arrow_forward
- A graduate student was following a procedure to make 3-propylcyclohexa-1,4-diene. He overheated the product. He isolated the product, which gave the appropriate =C−H stretch in the IR, but the C=C stretch appeared around 1630 cm−1as opposed to the literature value of 1650 cm−1for the desired product. The mass spectrum showed the correct molecular weight, but the base peak was at M–29 rather than at M–43 as expected. Because of the anomalous IR spectrum, he took a UV spectrum that showed λmaxat 261 nm. c) Draw the structure of the desired product and propose a structure for the actual product d) Show why he expected the MS base peak to be at M–43, and show how your proposed structure would give an intense peak at M–2arrow_forwardWhy saturated hydrocarbons show no Absorption in UV/VIS region (200nm to 800nm)?arrow_forwardAn infrared spectrum of a mixture of methyl amine, CH3−NH2, and methylene imine, CH2=NH2, displayed absorptions at 1050 and 1640 cm−1cm−1, among others. Which of these two absorptions would you expect belongs to the C−N and which to the C=N stretch?arrow_forward
